Despite digging three separate holes within feet of each other — in an area that Ms. Honders had identified by overlaying ancient maps, modern maps and a hand-drawn map from a German soldier, and marked by little red flags — they had come up empty.
The fruitless morning brought an end to a monthslong pursuit that had enticed dozens of people with shovels and metal detectors to the tiny Dutch village in the hopes of unearthing four ammunition boxes loaded with stolen jewels, gold and watches.
The modern-day gold rush was touched off in January when a scheduled release of thousands of declassified documents from the Dutch National Archives brought to light the Nazi soldier's map drawn in 1945 and purportedly marking the location of an actual treasure...

A rare stash of 1,000-year-old ironwork, which sat for 40 years in a family's basement in Norway, is now seeing the light of day after a woman discovered the hoard during some spring cleaning.
The hoard consists of 32 iron ingots that look like small spatulas and date back to the Viking Age (A.D. 793 to 1066) or high Middle Ages (1066 to 1350). The rods are identical and weigh about 1.8 ounces (50 grams) each, prompting archeologists to think they may have been used as a form of currency and that someone probably buried them with the intention of coming back for the treasure later...

You can see that the newly emerged butterfly is still hanging on the chrysalis. The wings haven't straightened out yet. It will take some hours before the wings are straightened out and hardened. Quite a process! It goes from egg to caterpillar, which molts four times as it grows many times its original size, forms a chrysalis and then emerges as a butterfly about a week later.

The tides are not as flat now.
We'll have a few days a small surf before a slight increase.
Good hunting,
